Tectonic factors of the formation of the modern North9Western Black Sea coast geoecosystem

Abstract

The experience of many years of research shows the high tectonic activity of the North-Western Black Sea coast (NWBSC) in the Cenozoic. Differentiated block tectonic movements have long controlled here the position of the sea level, the development of the river network (including the now underwater paleovalleys), the rates of sedimentation, the processes of bank formation, landslides and the general formation of landscapes. Tectonic factors actually determine the directions and rates of development of the modern geoecosystem of the entire NWBSC. The results of their study should be taken into account when planning and solving urgent tasks and problems of rational nature management.
